To access the course’s website you must first register in the course through SMC.

For online and hybrid classes I send an email approximately 7 days before the classes start with further instructions.
Make sure you check your SMC email address regularly. Important If you do not receive an email from me prior to course start date, email me immediately.

Working From Home: If you are taking online courses only, then you may not use the school's computer labs.
If you will be using your home computer, you are responsible for securing your internet access as well as have thesoftware required installed on your home machine. Some books have the software packaged with no expiration date.

How online courses work : An online course has the same content as an on-campus course. You will be using
a website (as indicated above), to get lectures, assignments, submit assignments, and do the tests.
To further support online students, I also post PowerPoint presentations files with animation and voice added to
help students understand the material more. To view these slides you can download a free PPT viewer from
Microsoft's website if you do not have MS PowerPoint installed.
I also post sample solutions, and comment on each assignment for individual feedback.
The advantage of online courses is that students work at their own pace whenever they want.

To learn from an online source, students need to be disciplined, motivated and follow a self-imposed strict schedule.

Note : Assignments and Tests have due dates and must be submitted on time to get proper credit.
